The questionnaires can be downloaded from the NOSQ website (see Fig. 1) and used freely, although the Nordic Council of Ministers has the copyright. The present NOSQ-2002 questionnaires and possible future translations cannot be used commercially. The Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire Group welcomes feedback from users of the questionnaires. This can be sent directly to the group members or via the NOSQ Internet location (http://www.ami.dk/NOSQ).
NOSQ-2002 is currently being used in several ongoing studies in the Nordic countries and elsewhere. Future plans by the Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire Group include coordinated surveys on the occurrence of work-related skin diseases on hands and forearms and skin exposures to environmental factors in the general population in the Nordic countries (46).
